Now that summer has ended and we’re firmly into the full swing of all things autumnal, it’s time to put away the light and airy stylings of warmer months and starts to hunker down for long cosy nights by the fire. At Taskers, when we think of cosy autumnal luxury one specific matters comes to mind: velvet. 

There’s nothing better than coming home from a long day out in the cold, to the cosiness of plush, rich velvet furniture with its soft textures and opulent feel. One stand out feature of velvet as a material is that it’s not only visually stunning, it’s also incredibly durable - making it the perfect choice for sofas and chairs.

Here at Taskers, we offer luxurious sofas from some of the world's most renowned brands, such as Alexander & James, Tetrad and Parker Knoll. These sofas embody elegance and can beautifully complement any interior style, be it modern or traditional (and everything in between). They have timeless appeal and are perfect for enhancing the appearance and comfort of any space! Let’s take a look at some of our favourite velvet pieces that infuse your space with cosy luxury this autumn/winter period.

Attractive armchair additions  

When there’s no room for a sofa, make a sophisticated statement with velvet armchairs. One of velvet’s many charms is that its beauty is timeless and versatile. A velvet armchair is piece of furniture that can easily fit into evolving interior design styles, making it a versatile and lasting addition to any home. The combination of luxury and comfort makes it an ideal choice for those seeking both style and cosiness in their home decor. 

So when it comes to velvet armchairs, what are our favourites? Well, truth be told it’s hard for us to pick, but if we had to pick a few contenders here’s what would be in our list: 

Alexander & James Abraham Junior Fabric Chair

The first armchair on our list would have to be the Alexander & James Abraham Junior Fabric Chair. This armchair is a true classic in furniture design. It is an elegant and stylish armchair inspired by the iconic Chesterfield design, which has been adored for centuries. The chair features studded arms that give it a distinguished and refined look. It is upholstered in luxurious velvet fabric in different shades, ranging from deep and rich hues to soft and subtle tones.

Tetrad Duffel Snuggler Chair

For a slightly more modern approach to velvet armchairs, we’d have to pick the Tetrad Duffel Snuggler Chair. This sleek armchair embodies comfort and relaxation, presenting a laidback, comfortable style featuring with stunning quilted detailing. The unique charm of this particular seat lies in the rounded edges that beautifully complements the overall design. It exudes a blend of uniqueness and contemporary flare with its relaxed shape and tall traditional wooden legs, offering a fusion of classic comfort and modern style!
